The almost-entirely animatedJungle Book has now grossed $776.2m, while a fully-animated Zootopia is now a top-grossing film of a year with $956.4m.

The Annecy Cristal-winning French charcterised underline April and a Extraordinary World picked adult $18,746 from 33 theaters during a seventh U.S. weekend. The GKIDS recover has grossed $249,065 domestically, and should pass Ernest Celestine subsequent weekend to turn a distributor’s tenth highest-grossing release.
